In every matter, there's a moment that changes everything. The moment information turns into understanding the moment, every decision becomes clearer, faster, the moment you connect with confidence. At Lighthouse, that moment is what we build for.

We innovate with purpose to empower legal teams to act with clarity and confidence.

We deliver value today while shaping what comes next, and now we take the next step together. Hello and welcome. Thank you for joining us today.

I'm Stacy Ibarra, chief Marketing Officer at Lighthouse. We are thrilled to have you join us for the announcement of our battle tested platform that is truly groundbreaking, one that will drive significant new business value for you. A true game changer.

Lighthouse has taken advantage of advancements in AI and large language models to provide you with a solution that gives you continuous innovation insight the moment you need it, with no limits to speed or scale, it is secure, trusted, and already regulator approved. Here's what you can expect in today's webcast.

First, you'll hear from Lighthouse CEO Ron Markit, Ron Mul unveil how Lighthouse is bringing the power of AI to you in a way that is grounded in real workflows and real results. We'll share a demo that shows how we deliver insight the moment you need it. I'll also speak with two of our clients who are already putting this into practice on complex matters, under real deadlines and real scrutiny.

And we'll close by sharing how you can experience this firsthand through an opportunity to trial one of our applications. And with that, I'll turn it over to Lighthouse, CEO, Ron Marcus. Thank you Stacy, and thank you all for joining us.

I'm Ron Markezich, CEO of Lighthouse. Before joining Lighthouse three years ago, I spent 27 years at Microsoft.

The bulk of my time at Microsoft was helping build and scale Microsoft 365. I joined Lighthouse because I saw a huge opportunity to create more value for the eDiscovery industry. Through both great expertise at Lighthouse and an awesome AI based technology platform that existed.

Lighthouse is a pioneer with large language models and ai. Before AI became headlines everywhere. Over the last three years, we've been putting that AI foundation to work, refining it, pressure testing on real matters, and deliberately building towards this moment.

Today we're announcing availability of LighthouseIQ. LighthouseIQ is where intelligence meets performance.

It's a purpose-built eDiscovery intelligence solution made up of two core layers IQ applications designed to address your specific business needs and IQ fabric as the foundation that weaves everything together. LighthouseIQ is built to accept data from any source system because you always own your data. In LighthouseIQ, we're committed to meeting you exactly where your business needs require.

LighthouseIQ is designed to help legal teams understand their data faster, act smarter and save money. LighthouseIQ embeds intelligence and all you do to make new opportunities possible Today, LighthouseIQ includes four applications designed specifically for eDiscovery workflows. These applications work seamlessly together and are already proven on some of the world's largest and most complex matters.

These are not chatbots. They're production grade AI powered applications.

IQ Answers allows you to ask anything of your data set and receive immediate accurate answers. IQ Case Strategy helps you create sharper strategies and smarter actions because we know inside alone doesn't win cases Action does. IQ Review delivers reliable relevance and high quality classification at scale and speed across your entire data.

Corpus IQ Priv generates precise privilege identification and logging given you confidence in your outcomes. This is intelligence that works at the moments you need it. IQ Fabric is the foundational element of LighthouseIQ that weaves everything together into one solution.

The power of IQ Fabric comes from three innovative capabilities. Processing standardizes at massive scale preserves fidelity and handles every data format cognition so you can quickly and accurately interpret content.

Surface key insights and deepen understanding of your data. Orchestration connects workflows and coordinates tools and teams to power seamless execution. Together these capabilities turn raw data into real actions at any scale and speed your business demands.

Enough of me talking. Let's show you. I want to introduce Cassie Blum, a senior director at Lighthouse who has been bringing LighthouseIQ to life for clients.

Thanks, Ron. Today I'll show you how LighthouseIQ transforms your entire workflow. For this time together we'll focus on trial and deposition prep from high level research to comprehensive interview kits.

I wish I had time to show you all of LighthouseIQ, but today we're gonna focus on IQ Answers and IQ Case Strategy. Let's just dive right on into LighthouseIQ answers. I am trying to get an early assessment of what's in my data.

Specifically how did one of my custodians interact with the subject matter at dispute? So I have custodian Jane Hopper that I would like to know what her involvement was with that campaign. So I'm gonna type in this question.

What was Jane Hopper's involvement with Jules Youth marketing strategy and appeal to miners? And when we talk about how it analyzes your data, LighthouseIQ Fabric is doing something proprietary that's a little different from other tools on the market that helps with both its accuracy and its scale. The way in which specifically that we chunk the data for analysis is unique to us in that we make sure with our proprietary chunker that we are not cutting through sentences or themes that we are leaving those intact for when we are doing the underlying query.

The other thing that it's doing for you is it's surfacing follow up questions for you. So you'll see here I have additional lines of inquiry I can undertake now as a result of what has surfaced in this original question that I queried. So now if I click ask in these, it will run that question for me.

And similarly, I now have those results returning to me with document IDs, with highlighting and with citations in the particular record. Now let's switch to IQ Case Strategy. This is the stage of your case where mistakes and miss data cannot happen.

It's critical for your frontline litigators to be armed with all the proper data and insights for your matter. So continuing to inquiry Jane Hopper's data set, I'm now inside of the deposition summary for this particular custodian. You'll see here that I not only have a summary, but I have several other important artifacts that are gonna help me navigate my trial prep.

I have topics that have also been surfaced, and so if I look at these topics, I can click into them and I can see a chronological summary of the key events in this topic. I can also see who is communicating about it. And if I want to learn even more about those communicants, I can click into our communications widget where I see not only who these folks are and what the particular discourse was, but we see sentiment in here as well.

I also have the ability to add a note or a transcript here if I'm collaborating with others in my case or just for my own purposes of preparation. And as with all things in LighthouseIQ, we also have the ability to use AI with natural language query to ask a question of the dataset. It is really a whole ecosystem that will let you interact with your data.

And there you'll see, and I've typed in did Jane Hopper express concern about JUULs compliance with Youth Prevention Playbook for international marketing? And again, I will see that an answer is returned for me. That helps me get additional insight into that from this deposition.

This is just a little bit of what you can see in LighthouseIQ. Hopefully you get a flavor of what's possible with IQ Answers and IQ K strategy, iq, priv, and IQ Review are incredibly powerful as well. We'll have clients here in a bit that have used all four applications who will share more.

We'd also love to follow up to show you the full set of LighthouseIQ capabilities when you have time. But for now, I'll send it back to Ron. Thank you Cassie.

I always love seeing how LighthouseIQ can empower our clients. What makes LighthouseIQ different is not just the technology, it's the expertise behind it. We have a seasoned team of eDiscovery professionals.

Lighthouse averages under 8% annual attrition, which is excellent for any industry, but that also means our teams remain consistent and committed to your business to serve your needs. That expertise shows up for clients every single day because we know technology alone does not deliver successful outcomes. Lighthouse also remains committed to Relativity as a core part of our platform, relativity is a common review platform for the clients we serve.

Our strategy is not to disrupt what already works. It is to enhance it. We will continue our strong partnerships in tight integration with Relativity.

Ensuring LighthouseIQ delivers intelligence fully integrated with Relativity. We built LighthouseIQ to support the most complex client needs while also scaling seamlessly to small matters so you can trust one platform for all of your eDiscovery work to earn that trust. LighthouseIQ is modern by design as we keep innovating, incorporating both Lighthouse technology and leading innovation from across the industry.

So the platform is always improving and you are not locked in to any one single software provider. It's built for early intelligence so you don't have to wait for documents to move through an entire workflow before gaining insight. You can get intelligence immediately because we serve some of the world's largest and most complicated matters.

It was important to ensure LighthouseIQ has unlimited speed and scale. There are absolutely no limits on the number of documents in your matters or meeting your aggressive deadlines. We also know how important it is for LighthouseIQ to be secure, trusted, and accepted by regulators.

So we made this solution defensible by design from the beginning. As I mentioned earlier, LighthouseIQ has been battle tested on some of the world's largest and most complex eDiscovery matters. To date, we've analyzed over 1.4 billion documents with LighthouseIQ, including multiple matters exceeding 25 million documents.

In fact, we have had a recent matter with 33 million documents analyzed by LighthouseIQ in hours not days. There are no limits to our scale and we will help you meet the most aggressive of your deadlines. And yes, LighthouseIQ has been accepted by the FTC and DOJ, but don't just take it from us.

Stacy will come back and speak with a couple of our clients about their experience with LighthouseIQ. Welcome back Stacy. Thanks Ron.

We've been fortunate to have industry leaders involved in the development of these products. They've helped guide and shape LighthouseIQ. They've been generous enough to share their time to tell us how they've used LighthouseIQ.

I had a chance to sit down with Robert Keeling at Redgrave. He's been in the industry for over 20 years and brings a lot of experience. Hi Robert.

I know you're a super busy guy. You've got lots going on at Redgrave. I really appreciate you taking the time to come talk about LighthouseIQ with us today.

Oh, thank you. Happy to do so. We have, several matters ongoing with you guys where we're using the LighthouseIQ tool in real time, so I'm excited to talk about it.

I know, I think you were coming in earlier with your phone already talking about a matter with one of our, our team members. Yes. I happen to be, on a call with one of your colleagues right before this about about a matter that I'm working with you guys on.

so yes, look, looking forward to our discussion. Tell us a little bit about your role at Redgrave. Yes, I'm co-managing partner at Redgrave.

and in my practice I work with clients across a range of industries, on their litigations and white collar matters. specifically I partner with Merits counsel and we handle the discovery, both the document review, the privilege review process, and more technical aspects of discovery, for our clients, to try and make the discovery process as efficient and as effective as possible. Great.

Congratulations on your new title, by the Way. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Why don't you tell me a little bit about your experience using IQ proof? Obviously using the tool to identify privileged communications is really effective and we've had a lot of success. But equally effective is using the tool to help identify what documents are not privilege.

And that can really make a review much more efficient, much more effective. For example, we can take documents that they may hit on common privileged generic terms like, like privilege or, or, or legal, but we then look to see, well, what does the Priv IQ tool say about these documents?

And if the tool is saying these documents are are not privileged or unlikely to be privileged, we don't review those documents. and instead we'll just have them go out the door without human review, which significantly decreases the overall cost of the radio. Why don't you tell me a little bit about using the tool for priv logging?

Yes, we've been working with the Lighthouse team, for IQ for logging now for over two years. and at present, the the technology I would say is rather remarkable. It is, at least as comparable to human review, for creating log entries.

I personally think it's superior to human review when that review is set up to have a dropdown or so-called pick list for all options of the prologue in including after the reline. And so what we've done is we worked with the Lighthouse team to have the IQ footprint tool create log entries, for real matters, that have gone out after QC from us, but otherwise without the involvement of a large contract attorney team, which has really replaced a substantial pain point for the discovery process, privilege logging is oftentimes one of the most expensive and tedious parts of discovery. And having a tool like IQ for PRIV replaced that, at least on the human side has, is really I think a significant game changer for us and has led to a lot of efficiencies for our clients.

Love to hear your experience with IQ Review and also what difference it made in knowing that this approach has been approved by the FTC and DOJ. I have deep experience with the IQ four review tool. It is the tool of choice when we're working with Lighthouse on second requests, both before the DOJ and the FTC.

the FTC and DOJ routinely approve use of IQ four review on second request matters, and we've had good success employing them across very large billion dollar. Second request matters that have been very complex and detailed where we've had to comply on tight timelines. I know you've used IQ Answers in the past.

I'd love to hear your experience with that and outcomes that you've been able to achieve. So IQ Answers has been really helpful for us in several matters. For example, we had a matter where we had to respond to very detailed interrogatory requests, and we did, I had very detailed responses.

after submitting them though, the receiving party threatened to go to the court on us because they said that we had not cited any documents in our responses. So very quickly we worked with the Lighthouse team and the IQ Answers tool and used the IQ Answers tool, to essentially identify documents relating to each of our interrogatory responses. We basically fed the interrogatory into the tool and our answer, and it provided numerous documents that would support our answer.

We then, supplemented our interrogatory responses with the documents identified by IQ Answers and avoided any, court involvement or a motion to compel. So it was a very successful, use of the tool. That's great.

It's so great to hear how our clients are using and benefiting from LighthouseIQ. CJ Mahoney, a partner at Cleary Gotlieb has also been using the LighthouseIQ tools. Hi cj.

Hey Stacy. It's good to see you. Well, you've had a good year this year with the bills in the playoffs and Miami and the national championship.

It's been pretty good. just made partner this year too. But, Miami's probably the most important one of those three things Partner's pretty important to you.

So why don't you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit more about your role and the matters you handle at Cleary. Sure. I have been the head of Cleary's eDiscovery Group for a number of years now.

I have been at Cleary for about 20 years leading a team of over a hundred attorneys. We handle very large antitrust matters, litigations, other types of government investigations. We are dealing with really large data sets.

And so our partnership with Lighthouse is incredibly important to us. Together, we've built a lot of great, tools and especially AI tools to help us, manage a lot of the challenges of these matters. So tell me a little bit of how you've used IQK strategy.

Yeah, so, case strategy is really important for us at the start of matters. Prior to, a tool like this, we didn't really have an efficient way to get to key documents early that might make a difference in how we approach the case From a strategic perspective. With case strategy, we now have a much more efficient solution than manual review and boole and search terms to arrive at a really precise, useful population of key documents that helps us understand how to proceed in the case.

A big example for me from the past few months is a contract dispute. our client had a dispute with one of their customers regarding cancellation of a contract. Our client felt that they had damages under the contract for the cancellation, but they wanted us to test their theories of damages.

They also wanted us to use information from their dataset to help substantiate their damages claimed and arrive at a calculation using, case strategy. We were able to ask a number of prompts, arrive at some really good reporting and a population of around 6,000 documents to, review to substantiate that claim and to arrive at a damages calculation that's backed up by data. We actually benchmarked that against older standard processes and what a review would've looked like without case strategy and found that we would've had to review at least five times the amount of documents.

So the savings are huge, but it's not just about the savings. We are actually able to find information that we probably would not have found without search terms. And, today's a huge day for us because just today, this matter settled, thanks to the work we did in case strategy.

Our client was able to obtain really favorable monetary settlement. and as importantly, they were able to avoid, the court process in order to get that settlement. What a fantastic outcome.

Yeah, it was really great. Would love to hear your experience with IQ Answers and how it's helped you solve big problems. We used IQ Review to arrive at a really precise production set.

we were able to achieve nearly 90% precision. so much better than you would expect from traditional human review. But it does leave the issue of, okay, I've got this corpus of responsive documents.

I now need to know what's in there as I'm making productions. We were getting pressure from the government regulator to make productions very quickly. So we were trying to identify portions of that responsive set, that could go out without any worry that we are producing concerning documents without fully understanding them.

We ran these prompts over potential productions and we're able to identify many documents that were potentially concerning and hold them back from production. While we considered their importance, this was extremely meaningful to the client because although we eventually have to produce those documents, we really want to be able to understand and tell their story to the opposing party at the time of production. Thank you so much for your time, cj, thank you for the partnership.
